Vaginal Cosmetic Surgery - Labiopolasty (Labia Reduction)

This is the surgical removal of excess or unequal vaginal lips to restore to what is considered acceptable to the woman.

It is usually done on the inner lips, but can be done on the outer lips, if appropriate. Many women are born with large or unequal labia, while others develop this condition with childbirth or age.

Most often, ladies request labial reduction surgery because they are not satisfied with the larger size of their inner lips (labia minora), which often protrudes outside the outer lips (labial majora). They may find this embarrassing, especially as it frequently becomes noticeable with tight underwear or sport or swimming wears. In some others, the excess skin protrusion can result in constant irritation with tight pants or jeans or cause discomfort when engaging in sports or other physical activities. For some others, it simply gets in the way during sexual intercourse. Labia reduction is a simple and reasonably safe solution for these problems.

After The Procedure

You should expect some swelling and discomfort following the procedure. Following discharge from hospital you will be taken back home if you live locally, or your hotel to begin your recovery period. You will have sutures that may need to be removed if they are not dissolvable. Your surgeon will advise you about this also. Most patients notice a significant improvement in the bruising and swelling after the first two weeks but it can take some time for everything to settle completely. You will want to book about 1 to 2 weeks off work.
